Full-bleed illustrated sci-fi action scene set in a burning neon city at night, framed by a black star-flecked sky at the top and rubble-strewn wet pavement at the bottom. A huge angular grey spacecraft or drone with four cylindrical engine pods hangs in the upper right, tilted nose-down, its underbelly glowing red and its chin-mounted cluster of five blue-lit tubes firing thin green laser beams down at the street. Three armed resistance fighters dominate the foreground. Centre-left is a young woman with long dark hair, a dark hooded cloak, a bare midriff, and yellow-and-black striped armbands; she lunges forward with a scowl, gripping a large grey blocky energy rifle and reaching back with a second weapon. To her right stands a woman with short pink hair, dark skin, and purple-and-gold segmented body armour with a small pink badge, holding a compact gun and gesturing open-palmed. At far left an older white-bearded man with swept-back white hair crouches among flames holding a silver gun marked with green bars. Behind them a burning cityscape of cyan-lit towers, a green Japanese-style vertical sign, pink neon vertical signage, rubble, an overturned vehicle and smoke columns.
